Why People Are Losing Their Minds Over McDonald’s Latest Breakfast Menu Change

There’s even a petition.

My mother always told me that if something isn't broken, don't fix it. That's why McDonald's constant adjustments to its breakfast menu over the last year has been so frustrating. Sure, these tweaks brought us some good things like all day breakfast — but that doesn't include the Sausage McGriddle, so really, what's the point? Then they introduced Chicken and Pancakes — um, that's supposed to be waffles. And now, they're doing away with a classic: the Big Breakfast.

Yes, the staple dish of scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and English muffin served on a styrofoam plate is being removed from some menus — actually, all menus in the U.K. reports The Sun. And after trying to be all sneaky about it, only to be confronted by hangry early birds, McDonald's said, "Sorry to disappoint. We've made some changes to our menu which means we've stopped selling the Big Breakfast." Rude.

There's no word yet on whether or not they'll transplant this terrible idea to the States, but Marie Claire reports that companies oftentimes test ideas overseas before bringing them stateside. But we wouldn't recommend it. Apparently people are so upset in the U.K. that they've asked the government to force McDonald's to keep selling the big plate.
